Episode summary Dr. Quinto Pauletti joins Brent Wallace to discuss a challenge he sees in high-performing executives: some have neglected their health for years, while others have accumulated mountains of health data without knowing what it means. His approach starts with the fundamentals, then looks for missing pieces through health history, testing, wearables, lifestyle, oral health, and other tools. For people in their 40s and 50s trying to optimize everything at once, the takeaway is simple: more testing and more biohacks are not always the answer. Sometimes the next step is rebuilding the foundation first. What you'll hear in this episode The two high-performer profiles Dr. Pauletti commonly sees: the burned-out executive and the health optimizer overwhelmed by data.Why adding cold plunges, saunas, hard training, and other stressors can backfire when someone is already depleted.Why sleep, diet, exercise, hydration, stress management, sunlight, prayer, and meditation remain foundational.How Biostrap, HRV, Oura, WHOOP, and CGMs can add useful context without letting data become noise.Why oral health, biological dentistry, CBCT imaging, root canals, extraction sites, and amalgam fillings enter the longevity conversation.Dr. Pauletti's “Triad of Health”: structure, chemistry, and emotional stress.His Missing Link Protocol: calm, clear, then challenge/optimization.His take on full-body MRI screening, cold plunges, CGMs, and executive physicals in Brent's “Loop Filter.”Guest Dr. Quinto Pauletti, DC, is a chiropractor and executive health practitioner based in Pennsylvania.

Evidence in this area remains disputed, with reviews noting limited-quality evidence and a lack of accepted diagnostic standards. He also discusses CBCT imaging and amalgam fillings. Current dental guidance recommends CBCT based on clinical need rather than routine use. The FDA does not recommend removing intact amalgam fillings solely to prevent disease when there is no decay or medical reason for removal. Whole-body MRI screening also comes up in the Loop Filter. Research suggests it can detect abnormalities in asymptomatic people, but incidental findings, inconsistent protocols, and limited long-term outcome data remain important limitations.
